    iPods, Pink T-Shirts, Charity Wrist Bands (bought with fashion in mind), Peter Mark Hair Styles, Fake Tan.

    I'd have to agree. The pink t-shirts thing is ridiculous. And I have to admit, I'm a little shocked at the fake tan. I mean, that's REALLY pushing the envelope..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    there sure is some seriously affected wánkers out there.

    i wouldn't really include ipods, i mean i have one, and i sure aint no dip dyed, wrist banded, feather haired, homosexualy dressed, self obsessed fashion victim.

    though i can see how some of these tossers would buy and ipod because of the image.

    Men using fake tan and toni et guy hair styles...argh, why arn't the style police / militia allowed to 'eliminate with extreme prejudice' onsight...? Pink t-shirts or work shirts...like having the word 'TOOL' written across your forehead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,613 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon

    Looked good on Elvis..

    Seriously though, if it looks good on you, would you not wear it?

    No! its pink!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    well i feel compelled to say something here.....Irish men have NO fashion sense. Well most anyway. They are at least six months behind the rest of the world in fashion terms. Pink has been in for guys for months on the continent. Irish guys need to lighten up a bit in regard to fashion and women! Why is it that the majority of Irish girls prefer guys from other countries.....u may ask yourself!

    Agree, even look at english men.I can always tell the difference between them and irish men.Was in liverpool a few weeks back for a match- could spot paddys a mile off- the embarrassment!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    eh yeah...it is on!!! pink on guys is lovely.....i was out the other night and first thing i noticed was the guys that were wearing pink.....all of them look good and were well groomed!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    metro-sexual pansies, personally i prefer men who are men!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 Bootgal

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser

    just because men were pink doent make them "gay" or "pansies"...how come girls can wear any colour and get away with it??? what ever happend to freesom of expression?? pink is a great colour anyway and if guys want to wear it fair enough.....move with the times people!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    there's style, and there's lookin like a foookin sheep idiot.

    not saying you can't tell the difference, but pink on straight guy's is just plain wrong.

    What - we're behind the rest of the world? You honestly think we're behind Mongolia? Tanzania? Uzbekistan? Poland? Venezuela? Samoa? Ethiopia? China? Mexico? :rolleyes:

    Tabatha - sorry, but you don't have a clue. The Irish - globally speaking, are quite well dressed. I'd be tempted to rag on some Irish women for their pathetic fashon sence, but I know better.

    So you like men in pink shirts - good for you. I, personally have more taste, and wouldn't be seen dead in pink or lilac for that matter. Why? Because, like luminous orange - they don't look good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭Dr.Feelgood


    grrrrrrr


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    well zulu....u dont know fashion then....pink is very in for men....go into any high street mens shop at the moment and u will see for yourself...and as for the rest of the world....i think u are being silly and pickey...i was talking about fashion world....as i have said, taste is a matter of opinion....pink just happens to be in so opinion has spoken! simple!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    its more of a dull pink/salmon colour thats become popular, its not that sickingly illumnious pink you see girls wearing!

    bit harsh there aren't we!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭Dr.Feelgood


    I dont know why a fella would even try on something pink

    I'm not saying you have to be gay to wear pink because thats not true-

    I am saying i cant imagine a situation where i would say, "oh my thats a lovely pink t-shirt that i must own!!"

    No i'll stick to my slum look thanks.

    Do women like groomed men more than a little bit of scruffy.
    I know that you ladies dont mind scruffy- well i hope not, my lady never complains she always plays with my hair- also i dont think she'd like me in pink.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    i dont think its a case of liking men a little scruffy or groomed....it depends on the situation if you know what i mean!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭Dr.Feelgood


    I getcha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 Bootgal


    Ya have to say that i do prefer a groomed man.A groomed man gone a bit scruffy is very sexy though.Bet you guys wouldn't like scruffy girls.

    I know mens fashion. I also know well enough not to follow the the latest "in" item. "High Street" mens shops are just off the beat when it comes to fashion, and following their trends tends to be the quickest and easiest way to look like a plonker. (ie: fake tan)
    As for being behind in the "fashion" world, sure Dublin is behind London, Paris, New York, Milan. But is it really behind Glasgow? Leeds? Carcason? Angers? South Carolina? Huston, Texas? No. Irish men are as bad as Irish women. Put your tar and brush away.
    That being said - I don't really know why I care so much. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭snappieT


    I happen to have a pink t-shirt. Ralph Lauren. I like it, others like it. So why not?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    well i never said i was irish????

    and whats your hang up with places? were u a geography teacher in your last life???

    Liking and wearing whatever's "in" doesn't indicate fashion sense. It indicates you're a mindless sheep who has no control or comfort in your own identity. Instead having to buy the latest fashion item in order to be "in" with the "hip" crowd.

    No, Leeds is definitely not behind Dublin.. Its now one of the prime shopping cities in England..And it has very classy shops--q-- very well dressed men!
    Oh well at least there is some well dressed men in this country, pity about the rest of ye but im sure we are just gonna have to put up with it!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I am saying i cant imagine a situation where i would say, "oh my thats a lovely pink t-shirt that i must own!!"

    simple, they see some idiot footballer, or popstar wearing one, so they assume if they wear the same, they'll be cool too, and girls will want to sleep with them.

    what's next, pink underwear, pink shoes, pink handbag, pink lipstick.

    Okay lads, you dont like pink.We will leave it there so..
    other fashion trends at the moment for guys.Other bright coloured stripy t-shirts (not pink!!) are very in. Bought one for my brother for his birthday there last week, a yellow one. He wouldn't wear it cause the sleeves were too short (which they are meant to be like) ..Had to laugh at him. So i brought it back and bought him a plain long sleeved yellow t-shirt..
    i try my best!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    another thing.....trainers that look like football boots.....they are nike 90's.....

    whats....with...the....crazy????punctuation????

    I never said you were Irish either.

    Look style is a personal thing, following the latest trends (or more accurately doing whatever David Beckham does) is childish and pathetic, and frankly stinks of low self-esteem. Now that may well be what you define as "fashionable", if so, good for you. One day (hopefully) you'll see since, but until then - good luck with that.

    The rest of us will continue to define out style with out wearing charity bracelets, bleaching out hair and spiking it, wearing and old school pink t-shirt with a blazer and tying a scarf around our neck in a night club. It's as common as a woman with a tatoo on the base of her spine.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    ok zulu....get over it!!! if fashion is a touchy subject for u then dont read about it....quite simply really :)

    It's not touchy - I just take exception to someone coming on and rubbishing Irish men in general, because they bother to define themselves personally with out resorting to sheep mentality!
    Don't make sweeping statements that are easily ridiculed. ...quite simple really! ;)

    As a matter of interest - where are you from, if not Ireland?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    i didnt rubish irish men, just some! dont take it personally. u in turn are rubbishing people who choose to follow current fashion trends.....ever here the expression "dont through stones when u are in a glasshouse"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,307 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    BTW, the female-popular 'tattoo on the base of the spine' is now commonly referred to as an 'ass-handlebar' :) Folks, invest in a company making those laser tattoo removal machines, you will make a fortune in the future as all the dedicated followers of fashion are told that particular tattoo is common and looks terrible, and all rush to remove them!

    I still bemoan the fact I didn't invest in fake tan or peroxide dye companies in the mid-90s...I'd be richer than Bill Gates if I had!

    I have indeed, but as I'm not in a glasshouse I feel very liberated when throwing my stones. :D
    I have spent most of my life rubbishing mindless trend followers, and I'll continue to do so till I die. Trend setters - now thats a different story...


    Tatoo removal - brilliant! Ionapaul, with ideas like that, you'll be a millionare some day.

    Why would you bother. Why do you care what other people wear? If they're a sheep so be it, they're happy and it has absolutely no relevence to you. None. Nil. Get over it.

    some people have little in there lives to be worrying about......your obliviously one of those people zulu who can slag others off and feel good about yourself at the same time! :) thats very sad :confused:
